An updated schedule has been announced by the Isle of Man TT Races as well some important changes to the race classes. Full details and the Press Release from the Official TT Pages can be found below :

UPDATED SCHEDULE AND RACE CLASSES CONFIRMED FOR TT 2026

An updated schedule has been confirmed for the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races, designed to add greater resilience and flexibility to the programme, support the welfare of competitors, teams, marshals, medics and race officials, and enhance the experience for visitors.

These refinements are in line with the TT’s long-term strategy created to deliver a sustainable, world-class event that drives increasing benefit to the Island’s economy.

Following the introduction of the restructured format in 2023 – and after welcoming 51,650 fans to the Island for TT 2025, the highest in over 15 years – the 2026 updates reflect a strategic and considered approach shaped by operational learnings, stakeholder feedback, and future planning. This growth has also enabled the event to welcome more visiting marshals and volunteers into the TT community, further strengthening the successful delivery of the races.

The 2026 schedule brings with it a number of important enhancements. The number of scheduled rest days has been increased from two to three, with Qualifying Week now featuring a rest day on Thursday. This will allow competitors, marshals, medics, officials, and volunteers valuable downtime after three days of on-course action. The number of planned practice and qualifying sessions will also increase from six to seven, including an additional daytime session on Wednesday. This adaption continues the trend away from evening sessions while providing riders with more opportunities to prepare for the race programme.

2025 Manx Grand Prix Schedule

If you are lucky enough to be visiting the Isle of Man this year for either the Manx Grand or Classic TT check out the TBNI.Blog Visitors’ Guide.

The Manx Motor Cycle Club is pleased to confirm the dates for the 2025 Manx Grand Prix, which will take place from Sunday 17th August to Monday 25th August 2025 on the iconic Isle of Man TT Mountain Course

The 2025 edition promises to deliver an increased number of races as part of the fresh, action-packed modern race programme that will see the event return to its clubman sporting roots, focusing on developing the next generation of TT riders and upholding the traditions of the famous event going into its 102nd year..

The six days of practicing will commence on Sunday 17th August 2025 ahead of the four-race schedule taking place across the action-packed Summer Bank Holiday weekend, with the 2025 Manx drawing to a close on Monday 25th August with the headline Senior MGP Race.

With the Supersport and Supertwin machines now at the heart of the programme, spectators can expect intense competition, showcasing the skill and dedication of motorcycle road racing’s rising stars. The new schedule will maintain the spirit of the Manx Grand Prix while also evolving to provide a fresh experience for racers and fans alike.

A key change for the upcoming event is the removal of classic racing from the Manx Grand Prix schedule. This decision allows the reintroduction of the Classic TT, which will run in tandem as a standalone event in the Isle of Man’s racing calendar. This move is aimed at sustaining a second Mountain Course road race event, allowing the Manx Motor Cycle Club to concentrate on modern racing categories and its long-standing tradition of nurturing rising stars of the sport.

John McBride, Chairman of the Manx Motor Cycle Club said:  “We are incredibly excited for the 2025 Manx Grand Prix. The revised race programme, and modern racing focus will offer competitors and fans alike a highly competitive and thrilling spectacle. We are pleased to be able to give our riders better value for money with two races per class, as well as increased practice time, and feel that this re-focused approach, will ensure that the event can continue to play an important role in road racing for many years to come.”

Armoy, Co. Antrim – July 25th & 26th 2025 – The 2025 Armoy Road Races, the final round of this year’s Ulster Road Race Championships, lived up to expectations as a spectacular showcase of pure road racing talent. Despite changeable conditions, with one large rain shower and an oil spill putting a temporary delay on a race day that was otherwise running like clockwork, the event culminated in a masterful display by Cork’s Michael Browne, who clinched the coveted ‘Race of Legends’ title and a sensational quadruple of victories.

The picturesque County Antrim village once again proved to be a formidable arena for some of the sport’s finest, drawing a massive crowd and a competitive field of 147 riders, including over 20 newcomers and international competitors. The weather, a typical Northern Irish mix, added an extra layer of complexity, demanding exceptional skill and quick decision-making from the riders and their teams.

2025 also marked the first year the event was live streamed, with full coverage of race day on the BBC iPlayer in association with Greenlight TV.
